Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract:This study is initiated to know the surgical outcome of inguinal hernia repair as a Day care surgery with respect to early post-operative pain, duration of return to normal activity, early recurrence and cost effectiveness. A total of 40 patients were studied in age group of 20-80yrs. The commonest presenting complaint was groin swelling, for duration of less than 6 months. Local anaesthesia is best suited for day care surgery of uncomplicated inguinal hernia. Most of the patients experienced mild to moderate pain post operatively. Complications of the day care surgery for uncomplicated inguinal hernia were minimal. There were no recurrences found during the study period. Longer follow up period is required to determine the exact recurrence rates. One of the problems facing hernia surgery in recent years is that of maintaining the quality of surgical care in the face of ever mounting pressure to cut costs and is increasingly active participation of the patient in decisions about surgical technique, anaesthesia and costs. Keywords:Inguinal hernia, local anaesthesia, day care surgery.
